The Basque Government has marked the 90th anniversary of the ikurriña's official status, one of the key symbols of Basque identity, with a ceremony at the Ajuria Enea Palace. The event was attended by the President of the Basque Parliament, Bakartxo Tejeria.
The ikurriña, which was officially recognised through a decree signed by Lehendakari Agirre on 21 October 1936, has become a significant emblem for the Basque Country.
Upon arrival at the Ajuria Enea Palace, Tejeria was welcomed by Lehendakari Pradales. Together, they proceeded to the Euzkadi Room, where musicians from the Municipal Academy of Folklore of Vitoria-Gasteiz performed the 'Eusko Abendaren Ereserkia'. Following this, a dantzari performed the traditional 'aurresku' dance in front of the ikurriña of the Basque Government in exile.
